Foot Measurement Help

General Knitting Questions | February 04, 2008
By Ann Foultz

OK — I have a confession to make.  I know this is silly of me to get to be as old as I am and not really know what the “ball” of my foot is.  Is this the part right under my toes that is usually the widest part of my foot?  And that is where I should measure for my foot circumference?  I did notice in with the charts & other info they sent us they have some hints for measuring the length & width of my foot, does anyone else have anything helpful to say?  I have knit 4 or 5 pairs of socks now, but have never felt confident about knowing how to measure my foot.  Thanks.

I wanna see your knitting blogs!

But most everyone still has their profile set to link to the Rockin Sock Club and not their blogs.  How about linking up girls?  I love the Rockin Sock Club, but I would rather link through your name to your knitting blogs!  I already know how to get back here 

Congrats to all the knitters who are done!  Those of us (me) that have yet to start are inspired, I know I am!

Interesting Problem

I got the first sock about 3/4 completed in size small and decided that I wanted it longer and a bit bigger so I decided to make a medium.  Here is the problem.  In the small the pattern striped beautifully but in the medium it wants to pool.  Same needles, same knitter so same tension.   Any ideas?

I made the size large on size 1US DPNs. I wear a size 7.5-8 shoe… when making a sock, are you supposed to make them a bit small, so that when you block them they stretch out a bit? I finished my first sock, and the heel pooks out a bit, it’s a bit loose all over, and I haven’t blocked it yet… little lost (eep).

WooHoo these socks were a fast knit and came out beautiful! I’d never knit a heel with the double wraps before but love the way it looks. The star toe also came out wonderful. My socks are taking a cool bath and will soon be drying on sock blockers for me to wear to work this week. I will now attack the December pattern which was waylaid by holiday knitting and a trip to Italy.
